ANOTHER SUDDEN DEATH.

Hardly week passes without the men
ton bv the newspapers of sudden deaths,
and of late the alarming frequency OF the
statement that death was caused bv rheu-
matism or neuralgia of the heart cannot
fail to have been noticed. In all proha
bility many deaths attributed to heart dis
ease are caused by these terrible diseases,
which are far more dangerous than is gen
orally considered Is there any positive
cure? Tie hest answer to such question
is given by those who hare been cured 10y
the use of Athlophoros.
+. 4. Curry, son of Mrs. J. II. Curry, of
New Paris, Ohio, says: "My mother, Previ
Gus to her Use of AthiophOros had been al
most a constant sufferer from infiammatory
rheumatism OF the most acute form. Atthe
time she commenced with this medicine she
was in a most helpless condition; her suffer
ing could we'll be termed torture; she was
confined to her bed for many weeks nothing
we had done gave her any relief My father
was almost discouraged and disheartened
fearing there never would be any relief for
her. Not knowing what TO do next he came
10 town, going to Mr.. Richey's drug store,
he said he must have something that would
at least give her relief Mr.. Richey spoke of
AthlOphoros and told my father to 90 and
see Josiah White about his use of it. Mr..
White spoke highly of the medicine and
advised my father to get bottle and try it,
which he did. Alter taking few doses
mother began to get relief, after she had
used two bottles she was up and around and
in a weeks time she came down town. How
long had she bees afflicted with this rheu-
matism? For sixteen years, of course it

out in blackened but solid mass. Now

show you something. Dye ever see how
silver spreads when you drop it, / can't
do this as well as I'd like to, for there's
too much gold; this stuff runs 4j per cent
gold, and it's too heavy TO work as I'd
like it,
Senator Fair led the way to n room in a
brick building adjacent, where two great
caldrons were boiling and bubbling
There's half million in each Of those, "
said Mr.. Fair johnny, clear this iron
table, and get me two blocks of ice" "
The ice was brought, and the blocks
were placed foot apart on the iron bed
When all was chilled Mr.. Fair said: ''Give
me fifty ounce ladle" The latter was
dipped into one of the caldrons and came
up with a pint of white, molten fluid.
Now watch, said Mr.. Fair. He held it
up rs high rs his arms would reach and
dropped it on the cold slab between the
cakes of ice. He dropped il in splatChes Of
little more than tablespoonful each. The
effect was marvellous. As the liquid sill

into 10000 conceivable shapes, and the
cold chill so suddenly applied cOngealed it
into a hundred thousand incOnceivable
shapes in an instant There were splat-
tiers and splatches and all sorts Of things.
Where a single drop would fall it would
expand to either coach wheel or cob
web, as the freak would take it. If Mr..
Fair dropped a spoonful next the cake Of
ice the splashes would rise, catch on TO the
ice and make perfect little wire forest.
1t was one of the most beautiful sights the
writer had ever seen.
Jewellers and silversmiths, said MIR.
Fair, 'get good many of their ideas from
just such idiOsyncraSies of silver bullion.
